I recently came across the concept of
baklava french toast by Elly on
elly says opa! . It is basically french toast stuffed with a baklava like filling and then drenched in a honey syrup just like baklava.
Baklava is one of my favorite treats and I just had to try the frech toast version. Making the baklava french toast is a bit of work but it is well worth it. The aromas of cinnamon, citrus and honey make the baklava french toast and experience before you even take a bite. When you do take a bite the toast is slightly crisp on the outside and warm and soft and moist on the inside. Then you hit the crunchy nut mixture and are hit with a blast of cinnamon. Covering all of this is a sweet and gooey honey, cinnamon and citrus syrup...mmm... I really enjoyed the baklava french toast! Since it takes a lot less effort to make than baklava it is perfect for when that baklava craving hits and you just don't have time to make baklava.

When I read the title of the post I thought you'd battered and fried a baklava! I nearly died of a heart attack! Hahaha :) But looking at this (much more reasonable) recipe, I can see that it's totally delicious!

What an inspired idea! A treat indeed. Graham & I are in Cyprus just now and one of the restaurants here serves everyone baklava and fruit after their main meal. I thought it was a inspired idea and the watermelon was gorgeous with it.

This is like one of those pictures where it can be two things depending on what your mind sees — an old lady with a big nose one moment, or a young lady wearing a necklace the next. Only, when I look at that french toast I either see baklava french toast, or a grilled cheese and bolognese sandwich (a favourite use for leftovers when I was a kid).

I made this a few months ago and I forgot to leave a comment. My family and I really enjoyed this french toast!! The flavors are so refreshing and blend really well together. It's very hearty and flavorful as well. Thank you so much for the delicious recipe!

I just made this and it was fantastic. I doubled the recipe and I moved around some of the ingredients and was confused about the honey but it was good! I made crepes from the left over French Toast batter which was awesome! Thanks :) Alexis

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
